“Saying yes to life, even in its strangest and hardest problems.” -Friedrich Nietzsche, Ecce Homo

I have read 4 of Nietzsche books this year, and I must say that I enjoy reading his work.

On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols Friedrich Nietzsche, The Antichrist Friedrich Nietzsche and Ecce Homo Friedrich Nietzsche.

I began reading his work On the Genealogy of Morality on July 12, 2022, and it instantly stimulated my brain.

Now I consider Friedrich Nietzsche and F. Scott Fitzgerald as my two favorite authors.

The way he questions everything and traces back words and concepts with history and facts is truly amazing. He doesnt preach or tell you what is right or wrong; instead, he tells you what he sees. He is like a doctor, only telling you what your health problem is, not telling you how it happend or how to fix it.

At times, he does express what might be the right path and the wrong path, but only analytically, not in a self help kind of way.

I always, even at a young age, would get a pounding in my chest whenever I heard someone preaching to me how I can make my life better by doing something that they want me to do. I always questioned everything and everyone and was not afraid of being disliked or an outcast. I always believed that confrontation was worth it as long as I was honest, spoke with my soul, and had an open mind.

Finding his work when I was 26 years old seemed too late. I already had a similar mindset my whole life, but I am glad that I did find him when I was older because I developed who I am and how I think solely on my own.

    Nietzsche plus F. Scott Fitzgerald is a fascinating pair of favourites. One, you could say, spends a lot of time dismantling inherited values; the other repeatedly writes about people manufacturing identities, ideals and dreams, and/or then discovering what those constructions cost them.

    Different planets, but there is an Einstein-Rosen bridge between them, and I think you might be the bridge.

      Wow. Thank you for that amazing compliment. It’s strange because my brain half romantic and psychological (Fitzgerald) and the other half analyzing society and how we live and always chose my own path (Nietzsche). I think it is awesome to meet someone like you who understand those authors and how it relates to me and my writing. I always appreciate your comments and perspectives.

    Great books. This is how we learn to think outside the box. There’s an art to enlightening someone and preaching I think.

      Yes I always thought outside the box; not on purpose but naturally. These books and this style of writing has helped me find and create myself mentally and emotionally stronger.

      When I was 16 years old I read his work for the first time and as I grew older he kept inspiring me. His writing clicks for me.
